Agricultural career fair slated for Tuesday

By Gus Bode

The College of Agriculture is sponsoring a career fair Tuesday for students interested in pursuing an agricultural career.

More than 30 companies will have booths in the Student Center’s Ballrooms between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

It is an excellent opportunity for students to market themselves to prospective employers and obtain information about jobs and internships, said Mary Payne, College of Agriculture career fair coordinator. The College of Agriculture stresses the importance of internships for our students.

Some companies will be interviewing at the fair while others will be staying the rest of the week to finish their interviews, Payne said.

Admission is free to all SIUC students.

A list of companies attending the fair is available on the Internet at www.siu.edu/staffair/ucsintro.html.
